Secrets can hurt. Love can heal. Rediscover New York Times bestselling, Newbery Honor- and Coretta Scott King Author Award-winning author Renée Watson's heart-rending debut, about one girl's journey to reconnect to joy.
Serenity is good at keeping secrets, and she's got a whole lifetime's worth of them. Her mother is dead, her father is gone, and starting life over at her grandparents' house is strange. Luckily, certain things seem to hold promise: a new friend who makes her feel connected, and a boy who makes her feel seen. But when her brother starts making poor choices, her friend is keeping her own dangerous secret, and her grandparents put all of their trust in a faith that Serenity isn't sure she understands, it is the power of love that will repair her heart and keep her sure of just who she is.
Renée Watson's stunning writing shines in this powerful and ultimately uplifting novel.

Watson's award-winning novels have a firm sense of place and perfectly capture an adolescent's struggle to cope with the pressures of family, friends and school while searching for who they want to be […] What Momma Left Me is also a good choice for an English class exploring how to use poetic devices to communicate emotions and the minutiae and messiness of life
